YEREVAN. – The resolution entitled “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water,” and which was adopted at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Winter Session, contains nothing “fatal” for the Armenian side.

Analyst Ruben Mehrabyan stated the above-said at a press conference on Friday. He noted this in response to Armenian News-NEWS.am’s query on what consequences this report will bring forth.

“What does Azerbaijan want?” Mehrabyan asked. “Azerbaijan doesn’t want water, but oversight. The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic authorities have repeatedly proposed Azerbaijan to discuss and agree on the use of the water resources of the Sarsang Reservoir. Baku, however, responded that it doesn’t want to speak with ‘separatists,’ and then it complained to international bodies.”

The analyst added that there is a need to work with an appropriate team which will visit Karabakh, and to present it the truth that the Azerbaijani side refuses to negotiate with the Karabakh side regarding this humanitarian and technical matter.

PACE on Tuesday voted against MP Robert Walter’s (UK) anti-Armenian report entitled “Escalation of Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Other Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan,” but adopted MP Milica Marković’s (Bosnia and Herzegovina) anti-Armenian report about Sarsang Reservoir in Nagorno-Karabakh, and entitled “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water.”

To note, representatives of the PACE Unified European Left Group, the Socialist Group, and the European People’s Party voted against both anti-Armenian reports.
